Canada Unable To Host Local WBBA Teams Disappointment reigned supreme su-preme in the American Fork American League of Western Boys Baseball when they were notified no-tified by WBBA officials that their planned trip to Canada was not to be. Canadian teams were unable to provide a suitable playing field, was the reason officials gave as the cancelation came to A. F. However Elwood Sorenson, American League President and team managers Bob Brooks and John Bennett, were given several alternate places of playing All-Star All-Star games and as this was written, chose to go to Santa Monica, California for first and second round playoffs. This should provide disappointed dis-appointed players and parents of American League area with a very good second choice vacation. vaca-tion. (Vacation may be the wrong word, if you have ever worried through a week long tourney with your son. Officers were very well pleased pleas-ed with the dispatch the WBBA officials made when they found out that the Canada trip was out. Am. Forkers were notified and given every opportunity of being satisfied in the second choices and officers of A. F. are very happy with the fine feelings that exist with League officers.

The truth is found when men are free to pursue it. "Blessings will come If you keep the commandments of the Lord and heed the advise given by our prophets and leaders." President Leland F. Prlday gave this promise at the Alpine Al-pine Stake Quarterly Conference last Sunday in the Stake Tabernacle. Taber-nacle. President Priday, concluding speaker of the conference, went on that we have been "given a challenge in the last few weeks in regard to the liquor-by-the-drink issue. The Church has taken a stand on this through its leaders. We should heed the advise given us." He noted that proponents of the bill are trying to eliminate the regular process of passing a law through our elected representatives rep-resentatives and have put before the people a package deal that hasn't been ''debated and studied" and, as a result is complicated and involved. President Priday pointed out that the fight against the bill isn't a ' fight between church and non-church" as the group organized against the bill Is lead i by men who are not necessarily members of the LDS faith. President Priday then asked, "Do we love the Lord? Do we listen to what our Prophets tell us and abide by their advise? Do we have our year's supply of food put away? Do we pay our tithing as we should or in the summer do we use these funds for vacation? And do we observe the Sabbath Day?" He urged stake members to not ' lose sight of the fact that a Prophet leads the Church" and if we follow his advise we will receive great blessings. Presided Priday recalled that the Alpine Stake was divided five years ago. Since that time, he pointed out, many changes have occurred within the stake. These Include formation of the Twelfth Ward; Construction of the new ninth-twelfth Chapel and the new Alpine and Alpine Second Chapel; formation of the Training School Branch and subsequence construction con-struction of a new chapel. The Alpine Stake Farm has flourished so that we have been able to produce the commodities needed and the welfare budget has been met. Stake members have now gone over the to in the Temple drive with funds still coming in to many of the various wards. Temple work has increased to great heights with more temple wor completed than ever before-but before-but "all is not well in Zion". We need our Heavenly Father's guidance in what we do. Even though there is more righteousness righteous-ness in the world than ever before, he said, there is also more wickedness and the gap is wider than ever before. President Re id C. Burgess conducted the conference and was the first speaker. Speaking on the conditions of the world today, President Burgess noted that we are all "concerned with the conditions con-ditions of our nation today and the things that are transpiring in our country. We "mourn the untimely passing of several Americans", he said but we should mourn more the things in our country that has brought these happenings about. He noted that we in this area are not exempt from the problems prob-lems and conditions that we see about us in other areas and said we should realize that what has happened in other parts of the country could happen in our valleys. President Burgess then quoted from an article which told how a nation goes "from bondage to spiritual faith; from spiritual faith to courage; from courage to liberty; from liberty to abundance; abun-dance; from abundance to selfishness; self-ishness; from selfishness to complacency; from complacency to apathy; from apathy to dependency; de-pendency; and from dependency back again into bondage." ' I have faith in America", he said; "and in its people and I believe she can recover from the illness from which she is suffering." He then pointed out the fact that we still have our freedom and can assemble for a meeting such as conference without first obtaining permission; permis-sion; we still have our freedom of speech; and our freedom to worship how we please, among other things. We should appreciate ap-preciate these and other rights we have and not take them for granted, he said. He noted that as Latter-day Saints, we believe that the Constitution Con-stitution of the United States was divinely inspired and as such it is an eternal thing. Therefore, There-fore, it is not "outmodeled as some believe' but is just as valuable and its truths just as fruitful ' as they were when it was drawn up. President Alvin M. Fulkerson spoke on Father's Day, saying one of the commandments given to Moses was to ' Honor your Father and your Mother." He paid tribute to his Father ' who died when I was young" and to other Fathers. He then pointed out that "God Is the Daddy of all Fathers" and Jesus is our eldest Brother; Bro-ther; and that there are 52 designated de-signated "Father's Days" on which we should pay respect to our Heavenly Father. "We accept ac-cept the direction of our earthly Fathers-how much more important im-portant it is that we heed the directions given us by our Heavenly Father,' he went on. Melvin Beckstrand, Alpine Stake Clerk, related the story of the finding of the well-known Carlsbad Cavern wherein Jim White, the discoverer, took a string with him into the cave to enable -him to find his way out easier, as a parallel to following the Iron Rod- the Word of God. He said he felt that summertime was a "different time to be a good Latter-day Saint as many like to go fishing, boating, to clean up the yard, etc." but if we kept hold of the Iron Rod it would pay off in blessings. Other speakers were Lana Hut -chings, Stephen Durrant, Ellen Strasburg Martin, and Ross Spencer Spen-cer young people of the stake who had recently excelled In their scholastic studies. Also Howard T. Healey, newly sustained president of the Alpine Al-pine Stake Mission; and Ronald Cook, outgoing president.

It is the pleasure of the U. S. Brewers Association each year to give its fullest support to the Keep America Beautiful Campaign. Remember: Every Litter Bit Hurts. This is our land.
